Two Week Check-Up

We had our two week check-up today with Dr. Cole. Everything looks great! Michael is weighing in at 7.08 pounds and is now 20.25 inches long. That puts him in the 10th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for length. He's on target with development. He's holding his head up, is startled by noises and will hold your gaze.
Mom, Jake, Vince and I all had to get shots. Jake was NOT happy. To be honest, I wasn't happy either, but we need to protect Michael. Jake asked if he could have a sucker for each shot he got as well as get Michael's sucker since he's too young to eat them. He also negotiated a sucker for each of mine, Vince's and Mom's shot. I finally got him talked down from nine suckers to four.
I also had my follow-up visit and everything looks great. I can drive again - WOO HOO! I feel like I got my freedom back. I'm still supposed to rest and take it easy. Trust me, as tired as I am, that will NOT be a problem. . .
